Children can have a school meal every day or a combination of school meals and packed lunches. As meals are ordered in the classroom each morning, there is no need to let us know until the day. This provides families the freedom to tailor their choices to the individual needs and preferences of their child.

We know that a healthy lunch is essential for good learning and evidence shows:

  • Children are better prepared for learning if they eat well
  • Children make more progress if they have eaten the right nutritional lunch
  • Eating lunch together is an important social occasion and the children learn vital social skills
 

Chartwells is able to meet the needs of children with any food intolerances or allergies. Please click here to make arrangements with Chartwells directly.

If you choose to provide a packed lunch for your child, why not visit www.nhs.uk/change4life/pages/healthy-lunchbox-picnic.aspx for a two week menu filled with nutritious ideas.
